Over the shoulder shot - This shot helps to establish the position of each person, and get the feel of looking at one person from the other's point of view. It's common to cut between these shots during a conversation, alternating the view between the different speakers. Here (below) is an example of an over the shoulder shot.
Cutaways - this is the interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else. It is usually, although not always, followed by a cut back to the first shot, when the cutaway avoids a jump cut. Here (below) is an example of a cutaway shot.
Point of view shots - also known as a POV shot, this is where the camera is showing what a certain character sees, by filming from their point of view. Her (below) is an example of a point of view shot.
